It will depend on which players are fit after Wembley. Might need to find replacements for Pipe and White.

Away from home I would consider bringing in Bennett and pipe to be more defensive but at home we have to have a go.

If I were a betting man I would think you or me might get a game ahead of Jazzi.He has been frozen out so much he's in cold storage so unlikely to play.

Totally agree with you regarding JBB......replace him with Pipe and that would be my side


I can almost guarantee MF will play the same side as Wembley if all are fit.........We have more chance of 10ft of snow than him dropping both Wilmott and Nouble ......He said last week he was going to make one or two changes to the side because the team played so poor in the previous two games..Theoretically he did by bringing in Pipe and White but they would have played away to Colchester baring injury anyway so it wasn't a change due to poor display.
MF has decided he favours 4-3-3 with Wilmott and Nouble as his wide men and that's what he will stick too...He obviously has a 'blind spot' regarding those too. He won't even replace them during games if they are having 'stinkers' as he has proved numerous times already this season....
You can almost guarantee he will take Amond off after 65/70 mins after he has run himself into the ground even though Nouble hasn't broke a sweat. He will take Pipe off 5 mins later replace him with Dolan and drop Wilmott to wingback. Then its either Tozer or White , depending on his fitness to bring on Hayes ( if chasing a game or O'Brien if defending ) with ten mins to go.
Not that his selection and substitutions are predictable

I agree 100%.

I can't see Sheehan getting a start.

We should have rotated, without a doubt. No-one other than the U23s are going to be able to recover fully in 3 days, or they're not playing at full capacity to begin with.

Plenty of chance to get Sheehan, Hayes, McCoulsky and Dolan into the team for longer than they got. Labadie and White's injuries didn't help though.

Day
Pipe O'Brien. Demetriou Butler
Wilmott Labadie. Dolan McCoulsky
Amond Hayes

If White fit then he replaces OB

Not even a place on the bench for Willmott?

You beat me to it

Given him and Nouble a rest, don't think it will weaken the team. FGR are a physical team and Willmott doesn't like a tackle.

The Dragons have made a nice mess of the pitch tonight

I didn't think about that mate. Watched it on the box.
